Frankly, I don;t know what to make of him other than to play him for all the comic relief he seems to be worth. I have neither seen nor read The Mousetrap before I got this part, and I was absolutely appalled at how poorly plotted it is.

Example: Mollie is in her twenties, yet she was a teacher at the time the ill-fated children were in school some years before. I am not real certain of the timeline, but she does appear too young to have had a teaching role at the school. There are several other inconsistencies, one of which involves Paravicini.

At the end of the play Giles states point-blank that the police are going to find smuggled goods in the boot of his car, yet there is absolutely nothing in the body of the play to even hint at that.

Very strange.

Well, off to rehearsal.
